"Mentorship generates growth and empowerment. It provides a unique opportunity to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life, with rewards that are both personal and professional."
- Caroline Gardner, Mentor
“It’s inspiring and breathtaking to see how a mentee grows and develops throughout the program. Even midway through the cycle, it can feel like you’re talking to a totally different person, as they start to carry themselves with more confidence.”
- Maya Wilson, Mentor
“A lot of our role is less tactical and more about offering perspective, talking through things, and providing an open, empathetic ear. I’ve loved watching my mentee gain confidence in her qualifications and her ability to articulate them.”
- Ben Stanley, Mentor
